Hans Sachs

Opera by Gustav Lortzing (libretto by composer and F Reger, based on a play by J L F Deinhardstein), first produced in Leipzig, Germany, on 23 June 1840. It is an earlier opera on the subject of Wagner's Meistersinger, which was also used before Wagner by Adalbert Gyrowetz. It recounts how Sachs loses his bride Kunigunde to Eoban in a rigged singing competition, but the emperor Maximilian intervenes.
